Here’s the updated scoreboard of AI-pilled promises - and what became of them:
AI is going to makecost big money for AI-first companies.
AI is going to make employees more productivewade through tons of generated slop instead of doing actual work.
AI is going to solve all of humanity’s problems - cancer, global warming, all that jazz!exacerbate humanity’s problems by gobbling up resources on an unprecedented scale.
I’m a big AI hater and just can’t wait until this is all over.
However, I’ve seen colleagues use the slop machine to just make shit they’d have skipped otherwise. Like using it to do TDD, provide the tests and then do the actual fun work - write proper good code.
But also if AI vanished tomorrow I’d be so happy and would not cry a single tear for it.
I’m not expecting AI to go away. I’m hoping the bubble pop will remove AI from a lot of markets that should t be using it because it was shoehorned in so they could figure out uses for it. The test bench use makes sense to me. I can see how that could be beneficial to generate. In this case the people using those AI generated tests are still coding and their skills will remain sharp.
But it just doesn’t work for a lot of stuff people are trying to use it for. Consumer tech is one of those things and I actively hate it.
